First of all: _thalamus does a great job supporting users here. "Wordwar"? Are you serious? _thalamus asked a question, you reacted like a douche.

Well - at this point you should take your head and simply move away from the issue. _thalamus asked a question which is totally related to your problem. How can you post FPS-Figures if you do not have anything to measure them? Anything other is just a subjective "guess" at the framerate. _thalamus was seriously questioning where you get the fps-figures from JUST BECAUSE YOU POSTED THEM. They have nothing to do with your problem and they do not really show what is wrong with the installation of iGo but are just some subjective...uhm..."things" you posted along and hence decided to throw a little more confusion in the discussion. Hence _thamalus' reaction.

Blaming one of the developers, of the ROM which is constantly used by you, of arrogance might seem a little bit short-sighted. In other words: Don't you think that is stupid? like really stupid? AdamG and _thalamus have to put up with a great deal of annoying question (just skim through this thread), a lot of the posts in this thread are totally unrelated to developement at all (this one might be as well ;) ) - I think it has exactly nothing to do with arrogance but rather with annoyance.

Either way - you should not put up posts like that if you want the people, you're adressing, to help you. "majesty"? That is a blatant insult and my reaction would have been the EXACT same.

You are cleary not speaking english as your native language and maybe, just maybe, you should not read it like it is your native language. You may miss a lot of irony, sarcasm, etc. just because you do not understand the language very well. Keep that in mind when reading through the thread and reacting to someones post - _thalamus did not want to insult you nor did he (well - maybe he wanted to, but I won't think so ;) ) imply that in any way. You just misfired in this case.

GMail FC for me too in 2.1.1...

Edit: Full Wipe seems to solve this problem...
[Desire Android Development] websinister:
Modified the Oxygen v2.1.1 and removed some of my personal unused apks and replaced the large font with DejaVuDans.ttf

Also pushed the working Settings.apk from http://code.google.com/p/oxygen-rom/issues/detail?id=733

Here are the removed apks:

Browser.apk

Email.apk

Gallery3D.apk

GoogleBackupTransport.apk

GoogleFeedback.apk

GooglePartnerSetup.apk

GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

HTMLViewer.apk

Talk2.apk

Font:

DroidSansFallback.ttf --> replaced by DejaVuSans.ttf

Download Here

FYI. I'm still using the Oxygen HBOOT.. :)
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
just flashed 2.1.1 with manually replacing Settings.apk from previous post and deleting some languages from system>tts>lang_pico.

zip file not resigned after that.

flashing works smoothly (signature verification on) on oxygen hboot.

only wiped dalvik and cache...no factory reset/data.

so far no problem encountered. gmail works (no FC).

i don't use iGo so can't comment on that one.
[Desire Android Development] Xinot:
My BT HF (Nokia BH-217) is no go too... It paired ok but when call is connected it acts like crazy. It starts to raise buzzing/hissing noise until goes to mute. Almost explod my ear...

Have had no such problems with earlier rom's... :mad:
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
My USB MS is no faster... still copies at 2MB/s :(
[Desire Android Development] Superchasin:
Does this ROM got the skip tracks via volume buttons? And it MAY not boot in OxyHBOOT? but sometimes it does/works I understand...?
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
The current version does not have this. The last I heard AdamG was looking to add this, but I don't know whether he is still going ahead with this or not.
[Desire Android Development] Superchasin:
That's one of the the most important for me :(. I'll stick with Redux then!
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
If anybody has gmail problems, just install, uninstall and reinstall, it will resolve itself, it doesn't help when people flash without wiping.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
I just copied it over to the apps folder before flashing, and didn't wipe... had no issues. I did delete some tts languages because I didn't need them.

removing apps saving space being fussy

my first post in this forum so Hi to everyone.

i have searched for the answer but came up with no luck so if anyone can point me to an appropriate answer already posted then please do.

my questions.

i am a little anal about not having anything installed on deviced (phone,pc etc) that i do not use.

i dont use the stock email app, i dont use the fm radio and i prefer dialer one to the stock dialer and gosms for my sms

is there a list available as to which of the apk's in oxygen are absolutely essential for the phone to run, and which i can strip out, and if i do strip them out can i simply replace the apk's for my prefered apps in the zip file and flash.

Mini
[Desire Android Development] jonneymendoza:
im giving up on this rom. no one seems to have any ideas and suggestions for the issues i am having with this rom.

cant say i did not try this rom for more then 5mins before slating it. its been over a month and the continues crashing and lockups is unacceptable.

back to Leedroid witch is far more stable then this..

regards
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
since 99% of us don't encounter these problems and are quite happy with this rom, i guess it's something on your side then. most of the time a complete wipe will help. also reading the tuts on how to make ext3/4 or fat partitions will benefit you alot. i don't know what probs you're having and can't fix within 30 days, but good luck with leedriod then.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Reuploaded v2.1.1, only difference is the About screen in Settings fixed, it was a minor fix.
[Desire Android Development] xaps:
kthxbyehf. :)
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
I have flashed 2.1.1 over 2.1, without wipe, and I don't have the problem with settings/about. In general, ROM is working perfectly. Maybe iGo is a little slow with animations still, but I only tested it for a few minutes, so can't tell for sure. It would be nice if developers could implement options in browser that were in 2.0.3 and earlier ROMs, but it's not a biggie. :)
[Desire Android Development] Xinot:
AdamG, is there some fix for bt issues? I really need this to work ok or can not use this rom at all... Or is there fix for this in 2.1.1? Or maybe kernel/radio related issue?

Whatever it is, it needs some solution.. :D
[Desire Android Development] jonneymendoza:
my sd card already has a ext partition. The problems i am having is simple, i said before, i get random lockups and crashes that goes back to the oxygen splash screen and freezes.

i have to take out the battery all the time to fix it.

what radio roms are compatible with this rom and is launcher pro compatible with this rom?
[Desire Android Development] burnedx420:
LauncherPro working well in 2.1.1
[Desire Android Development] Xinot:

[Desire Android Development] jonneymendoza:
how do u install this?
[Desire Android Development] cdadhemar:
This is fixed in 2.1.1. See #730 for more information
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
You do know this is a DEVELOPEMENT thread? Your questions are perfectly fine in Q&A.

Also - read the links which were thrown at you, you will learn about GParted and how to align your ext-partitions for good usage.

I recommend you to wipe your data. The errors you are reporting are the errors which you should expect after upgrading without wiping - they become pretty common if you don't follow the instructions.

Edit:

Can anyone recommend a sd-card class for usage? What class do you use and what speed can you reach with USB-Transfer? I have 300kb/s which is beyond acceptable for usage. I suspect it is my sd-card though, because it is rather old. It is however labeled as class 4 - is that sufficent or should I switch to a higher class?

I suspect that a heavy usage on the ext-partition might have an impact too - but could it be the reason for dropping the transfer-rater far below 1mb/s? Can anyone comment on this?

Thanks,
[Desire Android Development] jonneymendoza:
what links. the link i found myself is a link to download the file. no readme, no instructions on how to install it. nothing unless im blind. tried to extract the file i downloaded and it contains a META folder system folder.

do u know how to install this file i have downloaded?

Also how to reformat my sd card to ext again? i used a android app to do it but cant remember the name of the app.
[Desire Android Development] matpil:
It works for me; without wiping ;)
[Desire Android Development] jonneymendoza:
im using the clockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 to do complete whip and install of new roms if that helps
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
Sorry - misread, you didn't get any links thrown at.

However: This is still the develeopement-section and you clearly should not be here.

You have to flash the zip-file you downloaded in recovery-mode. But this is not something you should asking in this section. PLEASE go to the Q&A-Section!

GParted, please use the forum search there are hundreds of tutorials out there.

2.1.1 is working really good so far, updated from 2.1 w/o wipe.

Battery seems to go down faster than usual, anybody else? Will have to keep an eye on this.

Thanks Adam and the whole Oxygen-Team!
[Desire Android Development] libetz:
my experience with changing from 2.1 to 2.1.1:

I haven't encountered FC's with settings > about

Gtalk works well, however, when I'm talking with someone with my camera on, and their camera off I encounter some weird lines all over the screen except than on the little square of my video stream.

iGo feels still slow.

Everything else seems good so far
[Desire Android Development] SilverSurger:
This also can be caused by not wiping your device. I had this issue two times after installing without wiping, my battery was empty really fast. Wiped and reinstalled everything, now it is working fine.

HBOOT OXYGEN - cleanup ROM before installation - Media files

:D Hi to everybody who wants to install the 2.1.x ROM in OXYGEN HBOOT and has problem not fitting in partition table:

The easiest way to get it without loosing/deleting any apps is to do the following:

1. Open the downloaded ROM.zip within 7Zip / Winrar etc.

2. Copy the whole folder \system\media in the root of the the sd-card

3. Inside the ROM.zip delete the most/all of the .ogg files

4. Close the ZIP-programm

5. Flash the ROM on the orig. Oxygen Hboot table - it will fit there!

6. You can select ALL of the former deleted ringtones / alarms etc. as they are stored on sd card in the same directory structure like inside ROM's system folder. So they are recognized by all programms like dialer / reminder / calendar etc. apps.

I myself stripped the ROM.zip down from 60 MB to 55 MB - Unzipped from 88 to 81 MB by deleting all the ringtone.ogg's.

Have fun! :D
[Desire Android Development] mcampbellsmith:
What HBOOT are you guys using with 2.1.1 and is there any ETA on the new Oxygen HBOOT?

2.1.1 fails for me with Oxygen HBOOT (as stated on the change log)
[Desire Android Development] MonacoHias:
See my post just above yours ;)

Oxygen hboot ...
[Desire Android Development] nemolivier:
OK, silly question time : wtf is iGo ?? :-) (I've search the market with no result…)

Sorry about the question.

Here 2.1 run smooth, no 2.1.1 yet.
[Desire Android Development] chichoko:
Whats up with the leaked HTC libraries? Can someone explain to me what has changed from 2.1 --> 2.1.1 in that aspect?
[Desire Android Development] :
It's offline GPS tracking software like GARMIN, TOMTOM and etc.
[Desire Android Development] monstereo:
My battery life has been great even with 3g/wifi on. I installed 2.1.1 over 2.1 without wipe.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
IMHO the Oxygen HBOOT should follow the Oxygen ROM releases, not the other way around.

ATM Adam is stripping down the ROM to fit into the old Oxygen HBOOT. This is nice for those (power) users that have Oxygen HBOOT partition sizes (and customizing their ROM anyway). But all other (mostly rookie) users are loosing functionality (i.e. Gmail and GenieWidget) and the ability to just update their existing ROM.

So I propose: Please release Oxygen ROM for the Bravo Stock HBOOT to disregard all problems resulting from custom HBOOT partition sizes and concentrate on a bug free ROM.
[Desire Android Development] MonacoHias:
Speed-up OXYGEN - no need for a2sd+

Oxygen is the fastest ROM i ever used! But there are allways some speed improvements possible :D

When you install OXYGEN 2.1.x in oxygen Hboot you have plenty of free memeory on the Desire (~310 MB after install).

So, for normal users it is not necessary to put all apps on the ext3 partition via a2sd+. Running all from internal mem speeds up the phone a bit (maybe a placebo :rolleyes:). And maybe no more problems with widgets formerly installed on ext3.

EDIT: Apps still can be moved to sd-card (fat32) to save internal memory via the good old a2sd by Google method in the programs settings. Normaly no need for it.

These are the steps:

1. FULL BACKUP (!) via Titanium AND Nandroid

2. On your PC open the ROM.zip within 7Zip, Winrar or equivalent. Do NOT unzip it.

3. In 7Zip go to the folder \system\etc\init.d

4. Delete the a2sd+ script named 10apps2sd.

5. Exit 7Zip

5a. Do a FULL wipe via recovery (date,dalvik etc.)!

6. Install the ROM. Every new programm will now be installed in internal memory

7. Check how much free mem you have ;)

I've installed 105 user apps and still ~120 MB free on internal memory! :D Think thats enough ...

If something goes wrong (bootloop etc.) just restore all via Nandroid.

Cheers ...
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
IMHO you are totally right. Keep the ROM as stock as possible!

I hope AdamG will revert the changes if there is a new Oxygen HBOOT.
[Desire Android Development] MonacoHias:
This is the script for a2sd+ not the default a2sd by google. So after deleting it you can move apps to sd, they are stored in the fat32 partition then (normal a2sd).

Never deleted the script via adb / root explorer while running Oxygen. Did it allways before flashing the ROM, so I don't know if this will work. Probably not because the apps are symlinkt to ext3 partition and therefore none of the installed apps will work afterwards (if you delete the ext3) or they are not instaled/moved on internal mem because the symlink is still there somewhere in the system. But really not sure about it.

I would recommand to do it with a fresh install.
[Desire Android Development] schiznik:
Yes - the browser has been reverted to the stock aosp browser. You can still set the ua manually, by using about:config
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
yeah i notice in 2.1.1 the battery life is not as good as 2.0.3. let's see how will it go in the next few days.

btw, i'm thinking of enabling AVS in the kernel (in hope to have better battery life). to enable AVS, i only have to type this command to terminal emulator, right?

echo 1 > /sys/module/avs/parameters/enabled

and does anyone know how to undo this? (just in case if something goes wrong).

do i have to just type the reverse, like this?

echo 1 > /sys/module/avs/parameters/disabled
[Desire Android Development] enuazeal:
here's flashable zip for AVS enable
[Desire Android Development] websinister:

[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:

Have a look at my little step-by-step guide to prepare Oxygen for Oxygen HBOOT:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13398849#post13398849

It's really easy and no risk ;)
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
Best trade-off is the Bravo N1Table (/system: 145M, /cache: 95M, /data: 197M) for me, because dalvik-cache is moved to /cache and I would still be able to flash radios from recovery.
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
Or Sense HBOOT - 180M	40M	217M. ;) Btw., I think that dalvik cache is never on /cache partition. It's either on /data or (if you use dalvik cache to sd script) on sdext. At least I think so.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
/system/etc/init.d/11dalviklocation moves dalvik-cache to /cache if the partition is larger then 80000 1k blocks.
[Desire Android Development] mortenmhp:
vdiaz: when the alpharev team get time to make one :) However you can just delete a few files that you probably won't need in order to make it fit in the meantime. I removed some tts files as i dont need most of those text to speech languages.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
Oxygen is fitting perfectly into the Oxygen hboot IF you are using a PVT1 Desire. On the PVT4 Desire the block sizes are bigger => the ROM doesn't fit into the /system partition anymore
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Really simple solution... delete some ringtones and/or the unnecessary text to speech languages in the tts folder.

[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Reboot into bootloader, it's said on top of the screen. Differences are, as stated previously, block sizes...idk what else you wanna know lol ;)
[Desire Android Development] dzo:
I've been having a look at the automatic backlight code and it seems that the default lightsensor values are the reason it doesn't really work very well. If you want a working automatic backlight try this:

In oxygen settings, select automatic backlight, disable the lightsensor filter, select "use custom" then "edit other levels". Set the number of levels to 10, then set the lower level values to:

0(fixed)

160

225

320

640

128

2600

5800

8000

10240

Set the screen values to a range that you are happy with (I use 40..250) then click save and apply.

It's still not perfect, but should be much better than before.

You may not ever see a sensor value of 160, this is because the light sensor is calibrated by a tag passed from the bootloader, if the calibration value is low then values 0 and 160 both map to 0.

Using the automatic backlight will save more power than just about anything else so it is worth doing I think.

Other power saving tips are:

Don't use live wallpapers, the GPU prevents the device from doing a power collapse so it can't go into its lowest power mode.

Use a dark wallpaper (amoled displays), an amoled display draws more power with light wallpapers.

AVS saves a slight amount of power, but is not stable on all devices so it's probably not worth enabling yet. (especially the version in the default oxygen kernel, this does have problems, I know, I wrote it). AVS also has no effect on power consumption when the device is asleep or idle (which is most of the time) because the CPU is completely powered off then.

p.s. Adam, if you want to change the defaults they are in:

device/htc/bravo/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
That mod will eventually be removed, its entangled with the status bar power widget at the moment so I haven't had chance to remove it, I would much rather switch to the AOSP method of handling backlight levels.

-edit

I have just amended some of the values with those taken from a HTC ROM, I will see how it performs but I would imagine it will be better than the current settings.
[Desire Android Development] dzo:
Yes, good idea but the AOSP code still has the same table of default lux values (overlayed by device/htc/bravo/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml) which don't match the entries in device/htc/bravo/libsensors/LightSensor.cpp. The hardware gives us 10 steps (9 if calibration is low) so we should probably use them all.
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
strongly suggest to full wipe: even if I have done that (coming from 2.02), I experienced fast battery draining.

So, what I'm doing right now is a new absolutely full and complete wipe again (starting from re-doing FAT and ext partitions...).

titanium backup, sms backup and restore go apps (like go contact) help in backing-up and restoring apps, sms, contacts (just in case you don't sync with your google contatcs...).

When using titanium I usually backup/restore only downloaded apps, not system or user data. What I did the first time I flashed Oxygen was to create a word doc with all "standard" settings to apply once flashed the new update (e.g. wifi policy set to never, volume settings, ringtones ecc.).
[Desire Android Development] libetz:
Kernel 2.6.35.13_r1(final) is out, and it fixes the slowliness in iGo.

Thanks thalamus. Accordingly to the changelog, what fixed it was:

"Switched back to the CFS scheduler due to some performance regressions when using BFS when an Android application runs a background process at the same time as it's UI process."

"BFS is working as it should and it's only certain (poorly designed) apps which demonstrate this behaviour which is caused by a combination of shoddy application programming and Androids overreliance on cgroups for basic UI interactivity due to the total unsuitability of CFS for such a platform."
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Just spoke to IEF, asked for a new HBOOT to be created,

100MB /system and 5MB /cache

Should help our PVT4 friends and let us have Gmail and GenieWidget again.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Cache is used for market downloads and for stored the radio when flashing via update.zips, however Oxygen has code to redirect market downloads to the sdcard and the radio can be flashed via fastboot(which is actually safer).

Worth mentioning that the market apk limit is 50mb, whilst the default HTC hboot only has a 40mb cache, this itself may cause problems in the future even for HTC and they may possibly have to rethink how much cache they are providing or do something similar to what we have done.
[Desire Android Development] zaher.bahouth:
wt's bad with CM7 Hboot?

it is 5M cache..

[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Keep in mind there's a 99.9999% chance that it won't fit the next oxygen release - which is why I advised waiting.

I get up about 1200 after a couple of runs but it feels much faster than that. On the original (GRI40) Devnull i was scoring ~1480 and the new release feels faster than that. Faster than any sense release I've ever tried - even the guys who cry ***FASTEST HD SENSE EVARRR* admit it's still not fast in comparison to AOSP :)
